Solo
Christopher has released three solo studio albums to broad acclaim. All of Christopher’s recorded music is available through Bandcamp.
Signatures
Christopher’s latest solo album is the 2025 release, ‘Signatures’. It features a selection of tracks that have become staples of his live performances, including classics from Richard Thompson, Dougie MacLean, and others.
Signatures is available now on Bandcamp.
The Darkness and the Dust
Released in December 2013, “The Darkness and the Dust” is Christopher’s second solo album. A deeply personal release, its title track was inspired by Christopher’s coal mining heritage and explores the profound impacts of the place and time in which we are born. Other tracks explore the emotional trails of discovery, loss, and determination, interwoven with tales of local history and lives past.
“good song writing, attractive voice to listen to, and some lovely guitar”
– Folking
“has a poet’s skill in universalising an individual experience” – Folk London
Keep the Future Bright
Released March 2023, ‘Keep the Future Bright’ is Christopher’s debut album. Its pared-down production faithfully represents the intimacy of Christopher’s live performances, with just his distinctive voice and adept acoustic guitar playing.
“thought-provoking… politically and socially astute songs… Accompanied by his accomplished fingerpicked guitar”
– RNR Magazine
“a real knack for storytelling… stripped back and raw… speaks straight from the heart”
– Folk & Honey
